New paint job soon, what color??
Well, I'm ready to paint. The car has *many* small rust spots, a couple turning into BIG ones.
The thing is, I'm not sure what color ? A diff color is about 500 bucks more, but the ones I found look so nice, I just wanted to get some opinions to help me make a decision. One idea I had was Kawasaki Persimmon Red, to match my cycle #1 Rule when looking at this: I hate the "tuner" or "ricer" look. I like neat colors, but I don't want a teen machine. :P Let me know what you think! p.s. the car has black(grey) seats, just in case it matters Thanks for your help!

Polo green is a nice color and would save some money, but the Prowler Orange with a black top would be very unique.

I agree, Laguna Blue with a black top on the SVX is the best look.

The G35 red is an amazing paint. It would look great and not look like an aftermarket paint scheme.

prowler orange ftw
Also, if your considering a very custom color, take a look at GM's 961L. It's a 3 stage pearl consisting of a pearl white basecoat and a gold pearl mid coat. The beuty of it is that you can switch the mid coat pearl with prettymuch any color (Except red) The color has a very pronounced effect on subtle curves and edges

I would totally go with black... I freaking love black SVXs (but maybe I'm biased).
Infiniti red would look awesome though. Going with that. |

:(
Well, paint has been put on hold for a couple months. My front diff. went out, and I decided to go with the 4.44 swap since the tranny will need to come out anyway. I'm still very interested in seeing what you guys think about colors! It's nice in a way to have more time to think about this...just no black plz not my favorite color on a car.

Sorry to hear about the tranny trouble.
My colour vote is for something a little different. Use the Prowler Orange. I can't tell for sure from your pic, but it looks like a candy colour [and so will be expensive to apply properly! ] The reason I like this colour [color] from your selection, Michelle has already used a similar colour for her car, copper metallic, that is close to this orange. Now if you look at Michelle's car, you wonder why Subaru did not use this colour, this combination. It suits the bulbous shape of the car, makes the SVX more special. Now the reason I did not click the Plymouth Prowler Orange and black top button, is because I think you can make your car look stunning with a small change from the game plan; paint the roof Plymouth Orange, but make the trunk lid and side panel black.[OK, OK ,OK, you don't like black, but think about this. ] From the side, the car will look slim, the black trunk lid and side panel will visually rob some height. If you want to look totally cool, blacken the windows. Along with the black trunk lid, your car will look like it is warm and like sunshine, and the glass plus trunk section will look like it is wearing sunglasses. Now THAT is cool. Joe

Dont blame ya on the lack of black....It is SUCH a ***** to keep clean (especially if you've ever had to detail a black car just hours after it was sprayed)
